Chances are, we will get a motu tmnt slime pit before getting a motu slime pit. No complaints if we do though.

Better pictures of necroconda are out, going to be another figure I want multiples of and it looks like lady slithers tail is going to get a lot of reuse for other toys. I still don't get why it has the claw for fighting snakes but more weapons is always good.

Guards getting ready to guard eternia... *there is a little bit of stretch to the face plate, not sure if I would want to chop a face plate off for variety.

The Turtles of Grayskull box art looks really cool. Shredder is neat, has Skeletor inspired armor but also a bit of Super Shredder in him. There's also a first look at what I guess is Samurai Beast Man, what an interesting look he has, I like it. What I'm guessing will be called the "Ooze Pit" if it's made into a toy should be easily convertible into a Slime Pit later so that's great news. Looks like there will in fact be comics included. Also it seems I was wrong and all six figures are standard releases, not deluxe. makes me wonder if the turtles will be in their own case and the other four will be together similar to what they did with Wave 1 of Origins with He-Man and Skeletor. Don's package mentions "Krang's mutants" something we haven't seen yet (aside from maybe Shredder and He-Man).

Necro-Conda is really cool looking! I'm surprised they went with a cloth cape. Shame it's a Walmart exclusive, may be really hard to get. Might get the Stranger Things set just for the novelty, but I've never seen the show. The Demogorgon is basically Beast Man in Stratos' colors and a new head and feet. His D20 club is neat anyway.

Got "arriving soon" emails from BBTS for the November batch of Masterverse figures, wasn't ready for that...

Emerje

Ordered masterverse slush head and 200x king randor from kapow. Think I'm down to just needing Quake for the mutants. Briefly saw origins duplicato on amazon but when I logged in the price disapeere and it went to temp out of stock.

Probably no good to anyone but mattel creations is doing BOGO50% off includes the revelations evil lyns and mastervese Vykron. I'm tempted for the wave of wresters I skipped but nothing to make use of the offer on.

Yeah, I saw that, but I already have everything I want.

wave 1 revealed of motu tmnt. Slash and mossman not being on the original photo line up?

Slash looks good but would def want a faker leo. Raph as ram man not that great tbf. Mutated ram man looks greaaaat.

No Mikey though? Can't think of a TMNT line that only used 3/4 Turtles before?

mikeys been revealed already so he will be the next wave (or after these waves) along with splinter and april

blackeyedprime wrote:mikeys been revealed already so he will be the next wave (or after these waves) along with splinter and april

I see. The omission from Wave 1 has been noticed online already though. I can only assume the four have never been in split waves before?

*I might be wrong, Mikey might not have been revealed yet but there is still Hordak, Mikey, Casey, teila, splinter to come. Plus they said there would be X of the main turtles per wave.

and if this first range is already twelve figures and a potential ooze pit, another twelve definitely opens up the doors to rocksteady/bebop/baxter/karai/metalhead

I think super7 did it with their Ultimates?

I do find it strange that the Turtles are nobodies though? Krang and Shredder clearly crossover. But they are themselves?? Leo X He-Man, Donny X Man-At-Arms etc would have made much more sense.

some of the mash ups or lack of def dont work as well as others. I'm more worried of a horde trooper in foot soldier colors because trying to get one let alone multiples will not be fun.

Stock photos of the figures are up. Not a big fan of clear plastic to begin with, weird that Mossman and Ram-Man are both clear. Looks like there might be a non-clear He-Man variant? Apparently the shells can be removed and used as Shields? Uh, OK...

None of them are truly being crossed with anyone, just inspired by them. He-Man is right there so they can't cross him with Leo and Shredder is based on Hordak who we're supposedly getting a figure of. Krang is still Krang, his robot body is just based on Megator's race, but isn't Megator. Same with the Turtles: Leo is King Grayskull, Don is MaA and Raph is Ram-Man. Not sure what the story is with Beast-Man being a random Samurai.

Yeagh I noticed that with He-man too, wondering if they are doing variants like with the WWE superstars line or if it is a color change figure like monster trucks mud things. At least these are supposedly not store exclusive like the WWE stuff.

Honestly would have preferred a more typical crossover with the turtle characters all being crosses with a MOTU character and nor having actual MOTU guys in there.

It's hard to say just how crossed some of these are since some have new names. Trap-Jaw is now Mouse-Jaw (sure to instill fear in the hearts of mortals) and Slash/Faker is Sla'Ker.

Mattel Creations is now having a 60% off select items sale, I guess the last sale wasn't enough to clear old stock. I have all the MOTU figures I wanted, but I did grab a Mega Bloks Havok Staff and Battle Cat for a total of $52 after shipping.

Chrome Dome perhaps? He's the closest visual thing to a TMNT Samurai (villain) that came to mind.

There was also Shogun Triceraton and Shogun Shredder, but they don't really fit the same look.

Emerje

Quite a lot of them!

Yeah, I bought a bunch for like $5 on clearance back then and the He-Man/Skeletor 2 pack. Shame I can't remember exactly which ones I have. I do know I have a MOC Evil-Lynn somewhere in the closet.

Emerje

So Motu now gets build a figures courtesy of TMNT

Trapjaw is different packaging to the waves and is collect 1 of 4 to build metal head/roboto (not sure if he is a deluxe and if their is two deluxes per wave -hopefully giving us 8 deluxes/two build a figures)

teila looks to be on the packaging art too
